Pioneer planning BDR-103 HD DVD/Blu-ray combo drive

IFA 2006: Pioneer NOT planning HD DVD / Blu-ray hybrid drive

Yet another claim of a coming dual-format HD DVD and Blu-ray player has now turned into yet another denial of an upcoming combo player. Pioneer has now stated to cdfreaks that previous reports of a coming BDR-103 were based on quotes "taken out of context" and gave the now-familiar "we have no current plans to do so" line when questioned about possible HD DVD support. "We have the technology" was all the excuse needed to rebuild The Six Million Dollar Man, why doesn't the same go for Blu-ray and HD DVD?
